ORGANIC Crema del Borgo

Our Crema del Borgo is a sweet balsamic vinegar with a creamy texture. Made from freshly pressed grape juice from the Pinot Noir grape variety, produced in the style of a genuine Aceto Tradizionale. The grape juice is fermented in two stages, first into red wine and then into vinegar. A gently simmered grape must from the same grape variety is added to the young vinegar, giving it its typical sweet note. It is then stored in small oak barrels for two months to mature into a mild, harmonious balsamic vinegar.

The fine balsamic vinegar is suitable for preparing fine salad dressings and sauces. It is also a delight as a finish for the classic tomato and mozzarella salad and with goat's cheese.

Traditional production thanks to the vinegar mother

If you discover a cloudy, jelly-like mass in an opened bottle of vinegar after a while, this does not mean that it is spoiled. On the contrary, it is a good sign of a traditionally produced and unpasteurized vinegar: A so-called "vinegar mother" forms. This is what experts call the important acetic acid bacteria that convert alcohol into acetic acid with the help of oxygen. When a vinegar is opened, these natural little helpers can become active again under certain circumstances.

Excellent for leaf salads - a classic of Mediterranean cuisine.
